Karl Malden, one of Hollywood's strongest and most versatile supporting actors, who won an Oscar playing his Broadway-originated role as Mitch in "A Streetcar Named Desire," died today. He was 97.

The Oscar winner appeared in more than 50 films, starred in TV's 'The Streets of San Francisco' and made famous the American Express catchphrase 'Don't leave home without it.'
